FAQ

What URL should I use for an Instagram QR code?

Use your profile URL in the form https://instagram.com/yourusername. Scanning it opens your profile in the app or browser.

Can I track how many people scan it?

Yes. Enable a dynamic QR code to see scan counts, devices, and dates in your analytics dashboard.

Is this the same as an Instagram Nametag?

No. A Nametag only works inside the Instagram app's scanner. A standard QR code works with any phone camera.
